This should be read as a direct continuation of Part 1; http://watchitdie.blogspot.in/2016/07/the-munich-reutligen-and-ansbach-terror.html
In that part I explained how Ali David Sonboly had attacked a target that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) had called on their supporters to attack in June 2016. I also explained how Sonboly attack targeted ISIL's main objectives of the Olympics and community tensions in Europe caused by the migration crisis.
As such it should be clear that Sonboly's attack bore all the hallmarks of an ISIL-style Islamist terror attack.
However the German government really doesn't want to admit that it has failed to uphold its part of social contract which obligates it to protect its citizens. As a result it immediately went into cover-up mode.
As part of this effort much has been made of the fact that Sonboly suffered from the sort of mental health problems associated with troubled teenagers in many western societies.
Firstly I should point out that this is exactly the profile of an ISIL recruit.
Unlike Al Qaeda which has historically been very committed to liberating the holy Mosques of Mecca from the Saudi Monarchy ISIL is not an Islamic group. Instead it is a nihilistic group.
Simply put nihilism is a philosophy of despair and destruction. For ISIL all these grand claims such re-establishing the Islamic Caliphate etc are simply a cover for the appalling violence they hope will help save them from their own sense of worthlessness.
Mohamed Lahouaie-Bouhlel who carried out the June 14th (14/7/16) in Nice, France had a similar history of being treated for psychological problems.
Likewise probably ISIL's most famous member Mohammed Emwazi (AKA: "Jihadi John") had a long history of depression and psychosis for which he was under a doctors care prior to his departure to Syria. In his emails to the Daily Mail newspaper Emwazi spoke extensively about his psychological problems in an attempt to garner sympathy.
As for the claim that Munich couldn't possibly be an Islamist terror attack because Muslims were amongst the victims. In Nice 1 in every 3 people killed were Muslims. In Saturday's (23/7/16) attack in Kabul, Afghanistan 100% of the victims were Muslims. Today 17 people were killed in an ISIL suicide bombing in Khalis, Iraq. They were all Muslims.
Secondly this overlap between the nihilism of ISIL and the light nihilism of teenage rebellion is something that has been talked about on the fringes of anti-ISIL efforts for a while now. So much so it's even appear as a storyline in the US TV Show "NCIS."
Made primarily for the syndication market it is extremely easy to mock NCIS. They have to churn out 24 episodes a year. Each one of those episodes has to be almost completely self-contained with a crime being committed, a crime being investigated and a crime being solved. All within the space of 40 minutes plus commercials. In those episodes sex and violence can only be alluded to and swearing is absolutely forbidden.
Despite these laborious restrictions on their creativity in one or two episodes every season NCIS manages to absolutely smash it out of the park. The long running Mossad liaison officer character "Ziva David" certainly won them lots of extremely well connected fans.
The stand out moments from the current season of NCIS (Season 12) revolve around a mysterious Islamist terror group known simply as; "The Calling." Although no-one is named specifically their membership includes a character who is suspiciously like Kayla Mueller and they were formed in Syria before moving on to invade Iraq.
What The Calling does is troll some of the darker websites on the Internet such as pro-suicide sites, pro-Anorexia sites and what are generally termed "Hate Sites" - think 4Chan. There they recruit trouble teenagers and manipulate their angst to get them to carry out terror attacks without them realising that they are part of an Islamist terror group.
The advantage for The Calling of operating in this way is that local authorities dismiss these attacks as isolated acts by maladjusted teenagers rather than the work of a Islamist terrorist network. As a result they never bother investigate the wider Islamist terror network leaving it free to conduct ever more brutal attacks.
In the show the investigators liken The Calling's action to "Peter Pan's" attempts to recruit "The Lost Boys." You may remember that aside from the tribute to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony featured a sequence dedicated to Peter Pan. Just before they did that strange sequence about healthcare policy.
To give you an idea of how much NCIS is talked about in certain circles although he did cut his visit short following the July 7th (7/7/16) Black Lives Matter terrorist attack in Dallas, Texas US President Obama could not leave before he visited a US Naval base in Rota, Spain. That Naval base features very heavily in the NCIS "Port-to-Port Killer" storyline.
The first episode in The Calling storyline was broadcast in the UK last Saturday (16/7/16). On the Monday (18/7/16) there was an incident in Jerusalem, Israel when a man was stopped from carrying a bomb in a backpack aboard a trolley bus/tram. I don't want to give away spoilers but if you've seen the NCIS episode that would seem extremely familiar.
Also much has been made of the strange spectacle of the Muslim son of a refugee screaming racist abuse about Muslims and refugees as he carried out his attack.
I should start by pointing out that this seems to have been extremely overstated. It seems mainly based on a video of an exchange between a member of the public and Sonboly as Sonboly was reloading his gun.
During that exchange the member of the public unleashed an impressive stream of verbal abuse against Sonboly. I recognise some of the German phrases used even if Google refuses to translate them for me. Therefore this seems likely to just be Sonboly reacting to the accusations being levelled against him by a man who was too far away to shoot.
The attack did though occur on the fifth anniversary of Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Breivik's shooting rampage in 2011.
Seeming to bow to the Twitter campaign by much of the European left German police did initially claim that Sonboly was in possession of a copy of Breivik's manifesto although they have now retracted that claim. Likewise I understand the person who claimed to the media that Sonboly had used a picture of Breivik in his Snapchat profile has since been arrested as an accessory to the crime.
I think though there are two important details to remember about this aspect of the attack;
The first is that one of the primary objectives of the attack was to increase racial tension and division. Particularly by portraying the west as anti-Muslim in order to produce more western recruits for ISIL.
Secondly people - particularly terrorists - will lie to get what they want.
This issue of when we can call a terrorist attack a terrorist attack is an extremely hot issue within US politics. As with Black Lives Matter it also seems to have infected European politics.
Personally I think it goes back to Obama's fundamental misconception about ISIL.
Obama seems to genuinely believe that ISIL are some sort of heroic civil rights protest group battling the oppression of the Syrian government rather than a group of genocidal terrorists active from California in the US right across Europe, Africa and the Middle-East all the way into South-East Asia and even Australia.
The issue was really ignited by the February 10th 2015 (10/2/15) shooting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Here three members of a Mosque that was under Federal investigation for links to ISIL were shot and killed in an unrelated parking dispute. Seizing on the opportunity to take some of the pressure of the counter-terrorism investigation off them the Mosque demanded that this be labelled an act of anti-Muslim terrorism.
Unfortunately Obama fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Now every time there's a terrorist attack or mass shooting anywhere in the World Obama supporters take to Twitter to tell us that because we're all homophobic, Islamaphobic racists whenever the attacker's a Muslim we label it terrorism, whenever the attacker's black we label them a thug but when the attacker's white we simply put it down to mental illness.
Obviously Obama supporters very much want to avoid a legitimate discussion about when attacks are classed as terrorism.
After all that would involve some very difficult questions about the December 20th 2014 (20/12/14) Black Lives Matter attack on police in New York City. The March 12th 2015 (12/3/15) Black Lives Matter attack on police in Ferguson, Missouri. The July 7th 2016(7/7/16) Black Lives Matter attack on police in Dallas, Texas. The July 17th (17/7/16) Black Lives Matter attack on police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
It would also explain why there is absolutely no criminal case for Dylann Roof to answer over the events in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17th 2015 (17/6/15).
In short such a discussion could only conclude that Barack Obama and his associates have to go to prison for waging a terrorist war against the United States.
Apart from igniting those arguments I think that ISIL as a nominally Sunni organisation were hoping to boost recruitment by showing how the west refuse to open a terrorist investigation when the attacker is a Shia. Therefore as they will tell their recruits it is obvious that the west is backing Shia terrorists to destroy them. All good Sunnis must join ISIL to fight back.
Also I think that the terrorist were hoping that Germany would try and cover up Friday's (22/7/17) attack in Munich in the way that they did. The German's efforts so far have been so offensive to anyone with even half a brain cell that this will lead to a backlash further destroying the space in which Muslims and non-Muslims coexist and further destabilising Germany.
Based on the way they have behaved these past three days I think it is now going to be impossible for Germany to get Hungary and Poland to agree to a refugee deal. Therefore if Turkey decides to once again flood the continent with migrants the EU is - I believed the correct technical term is; "F*cked."
As I said on Sunday (24/7/16) the International Olympic Committee (IOC) held its meeting on whether to expel Russia from the 2016 Rio Olympics.
In an extremely rare display of moral courage they declined to expel Russia. However they failed to expel the IAAF from the Olympic movement and left other sports federations free to ban Russian competitors.
Despite this it took little more than an hour for Islamist terrorists to launch revenge attacks against Germany.
The first of these took place in Reutlingen in the north-western state of Baden-Wuttemberg.
Here a Syrian illegal migrant who had been refused refugee status twice but had not been taken into custody or deported launched a machete attack at a kebab stall. He injured two and murdered a pregnant Polish woman before being subdued and arrested. No doubt he's already out on bail.
The second of these took place in Ansbach which is in Bavaria.
Here another Syrian man who had been denied refugee status but had not been taken into custody or deported tried carrying a backpack bomb into an open air music festival attended by roughly 2,500 people that was being held in the town square.
Having been refused entry to the music festival for not having a valid ticket he instead chose to detonate his bomb at a near-by bar. Fortunately he only succeeded in killing himself although he did injure 15.
Following the attack in Reutlingen the German authorities did exactly what they did following the Munich attack. They denied that it was terrorist related and tried to make us feel bad for hurting the poor terrorists feelings.
Following the Ansbach attack the German authorities again tried to cover it up by denying that a bombing had taken place and trying to pass it off as a gas explosion. However the local Mayor called the Federal authorities out by confirming to the media that it was a bombing.
It has since been discovered that the prior to the bombing the attacker had recorded a video on his mobile phone which he sent to ISIL claiming the attack in the groups name declaring it to be an unspecified act of revenge.
Despite this the best the German authorities can come out with is a statement that' "We cannot rule out a link to ISIL at this time."
I find this strategy of denial and cover up on the part of the German authorities alarming and frankly dangerous.
I like to think that my hard-left credentials are beyond reproach. After all I have been banned from Germany because of them. However at this point even I think that the far-right and even the neo-Nazis are making a lot more sense than Merkel's government.
Imagine what people without my level of political experience are thinking.
